    Please don't bump the bar unless you really like replacing floor tiles.

        I hope "white pony" is some kind of newfangled euphemism for "elliptical machine," because otherwise you are endangering your cardiovascular health.

        On the other hand, if you're one of those people who likes to go on obsessively about their exercise routines, you probably would be less annoying if you just snorted coke.

        I got 5 on it!

        Unfortunately, it's only $20 and up. :(

      Just do a gram one day AND stay and then do the treadmill/elliptical for two. You're still one treadmill/elliptical ahead. (It's very important not to smoke on the treadmill one of those days, though. Sorry, but your health is important.)

        Dr. Cassimatis taught part of my Cardiology module at Emory! He's a great guy.

          The other difference in how the two affect your heart is that cardio exercises generally won't inspire you to blow anyone in a bathroom stall to continue.

            What about crack?

              Crack is very nearly the same thing as cocaine. Cocaine in its molecular form is a salt, meaning the alkyloid molecule of cocaine (alkyloid as in basic, as in the opposite of an acid) is combined with an acid, almost always hydrochloric acid (HCl). In the salt form, cocaine has a very high smoke point, and if you try to smoke it it'll just burn and turn into a nasty mess before releasing any fumes and getting you high.

              To make crack, all you do is strip the acidic portion of the salt away, leaving cocaine in its pure (basic) form, hence the term 'free-base'. Doing this lowers the smoke point down to a level where it can be burned to release inhalable fumes.

              Hilariously, some crack addicts prefer to inject their crack, and have learned that in order to get it to dissolve so that it can be sucked up into a needle, you have to dissolve it in something like lemon juice. What they're doing in that case is adding the acid right back onto the free-base crack, basically turning it right back into cocaine.

              Oh, and as for what it actually does to you: its the same thing as cocaine. But in smoke form, it reaches your brain much faster, and gives a shorter but more intense version of the exact same thing. So imagine it as all the effects of cocaine, but condensed into a quarter of the amount of time.

            I imagine the answers represented here came after a long tirade on how stupid/insane you'd have to be to actually think that cocaine is good for you. Professors can curse too.

              Most folks I've met who do coke tend be friendly with really big hearts.

              Well, ... enlarged I guess.

                Why isn't exercise as good as cocaine?

                  I just wanted to point out all the grammatical errors in this article, starting with the title, because I can't fathom anyone actually thinking exercise is better than cocaine for anything.
